âI went to Limelight, I had my 10th birthday party at Limelight,â Barrymore shared.
âI had been going to clubs for three years at that point,â she continued. âI went to Studio 54, I went to Limelight, I went to Nellâs. You name it, I was there.â

In April, she opened up about breaking the cycle of alcohol abuse in her famous family by choosing to live a sober lifestyle.
Drewâs famous father is legendary actor John Barrymore. Her aunt and uncle are Oscar winners Ethel and Lionel Barrymore. Their father, John Barrymore Sr., was a very high-profile actor of the 1920s and â30s.
âI think, for me, stopping drinking is one of the most honoring things I can do to the Barrymore name because we have all been such hedonists,â the star, who completed a rehab stay for drug and alcohol addiction at an early age, told People.

âDonât look to me as the pillar of health and wellness and having it all together,â she warned.
âItâs just like, you know what? This didnât work for our family, and Iâm going to stop it. Iâm going to be the one to break the link in that chain and maybe my kids and their kids will be better off for it.â
